thanks for all the wonderful comments!
and to answer a few questions.
i got the cog's and watch part from friends or ebay! i also plan on making another steampunk pony in a brown!
and since my skills with pain are really bad and all i have is cheap cheap paint i decided to go with just dying them (i use rit dye, since others don't really work, but i've got a different brand to try tonight since rit doesn't have a lime green, first and second trails did not work.)
i really hate painting their eyes! and i can never ever get them to look the same.
so once i'm done with the few i have that'll be it for me. but i've got 8 coming on their way!!
